Today we travel to Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvania for an entertaining and educational day
stepping back in the past! Upon our arrival in
Pottsville, Pennsylvania, we enjoy a
tour of D.G. Yuengling Brewery, Americas
oldest brewery. Discover the hand-dug fermentation caves
that were used for storage before refrigeration, and later
enjoy a taste of living history in a building that has produced
fine beers through times of peace, prosperity, upheaval and
world war. A sampling of 2 beers (including root beer option) is included. Next, we travel
to Roma Pizzeria for a delicious
traditional Italian buffet. Relax and
relish the fellowship of friends old and new while you enjoy
your meal! Following lunch, we visit Jerrys
Classic Cars & Collectibles museum. Do you
want to relive bygone days when cars were classically designed,
rock-n-roll ruled everyones radio and the nights were
about watching movies at the drive-in theater or sipping a
milkshake at a local soda shop? The 1950s come
alive at Jerrys Classic Cars & Collectibles museum
where you will see classic cars and over 20,000 collectible
items that will stir fond unforgettable memories.
Finally, we conclude our day in Ashland,
Pennsylvania with an educational, as well as
entertaining, visit to the Pioneer Tunnel Coal
Mine. We travel 1800 feet straight into the side
of the Mahanoy Mountain in comfort in open mine cars pulled by
a battery-operated mine motor. Once inside the mine you
will exit your mine car and follow your guide who will explain
how coal is mined. Aided by storyboards inside the mine
depicting mining operation, your guide will point out the
numerous coal seams and describe various configurations of
passageways, some cut from solid rock in order to reach the
coal. Enjoy a great day of fun and nostalgia with
Gunther Tours!
